International training support in non-formal education

Attention has also been drawn to the increasing interest of nations, both donors and receivers of technical assistance, in achieving a more systematic utilization of non-formal education techniques in attacking development problems. Given this interest, three related questions arise: (1) to what extent are non-formal education programs cross-culturally replicable, i.e., is the technology transferable? (2) if the technology is transferable, what are the training support needs of the transfer process? and, (3) can we describe the characteristics of training support programs that seem best suited to meeting identified training needs? Other reports in this series deal with the pros and cons of transferability; this report assumes transferability and searches for ways and means of effecting it through training support programs.
